On November 5, 2025, the University of Luzon organized a Career Awareness Program designed to assist graduating students in their transition into the workforce. This event took place in the 3rd Floor Library from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and was structured into morning and afternoon sessions to promote engagement and educational benefit.
Program Overview
The program commenced with ice-breaking activities led by Prof. Anastacio B. Aquino, Assistant Director of the Office of Student Affairs. Following these activities, Prof. Tzarita Marie P. Mayo, Dean of the College of MLS and Pharmacy, delivered opening remarks that underscored the significance of career readiness for approaching graduates.
Expert Presentations
Participants experienced presentations from two speakers: Dr. Dolores Bustillo, the university’s Human Resource Officer, who addressed strategies for successful interviewing and professional conduct, and Ms. Annabelle Bamba V.
